Warwick's - La Jolla, California

Ashley LeBourveau-Truong

Beautiful local bookstore with plenty to browse, including both books and gifts and other goods. They have a great mix of specialty books and current popular items, as well as recommendations from the staff. Absolutely worth visiting if you want to pick up some new titles or even just some unique gifts.

As a heads up, parking in this area is terrible and you may need to search pretty hard for a spot (especially on weekends). Be prepared to park a few blocks away, but the location is great for checking out other shops or restaurants in La Jolla before or after

A true gem in the shopping and dining district of La Jolla, Warwick's book store is a must visit when you're in town.
The staff is so kind and helpful with any queries you have.
I visited for a book signing and picked up signed copies of other books on my list.
I traveled from North Orange County and the drive was well worth it.

Great place to get books and gifts, cards and other stationary. I was surprised at the selection of writing and drawing items.

If I was out of town and wanted to pick a journal and pen, I'd go here. You could definitely pick up a Lamy fountain pen and decent paper.

If you just like book and stationary stores you will be really please with this one.

My daughter kept telling me about this wonderful bookstore she'd found. I visited her recently and we took a walk over after lunch. It was the most amazing bookstore I've been in. I'm not sure if they offered more variety or if it's just the thoughtful displays, but it was such a relaxing and interesting experience. Obviously, a ton of great books, but also puzzles, calendars, toys, gifts, jewelry, art supplies. So many great items available and, yet, it doesn't feel crowded or congested. I hope to visit whenever I'm in the area.

Also, every single person here was friendly and inviting.

If you love bookstores, you have to check out Warwick's, the country's oldest continuously family-owned and operated bookstore.

This is one of the oldest bookshops in San Diego. It has over 100 years of history. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I had a very interesting conversation about pens at the pen counter. The staff goes out of their way to help you find a hard to find book and will walk you over to where it's located. This kind of personalized service makes establishments like this a rare gem. And keeps people coming back. I love seeing what books the staff recommend; they are always on display. They always feature author signings and they don't just have books, there's a fair selection of gifts, toys, stationery, and art supplies at reasonable prices.

Wonderful book store with wonderful staff. They have a great selection of many genres and even a great selection of popular children's books. It doesn't end there. Also, there are painting accessories, high-end pens, and other interesting hobby items for artists or crafting enthusiasts. Overall, it's a great store with many ways to entertain a slow, relaxing summer day.
